Change in Non-Profit Status

Think Pink Photography will be classified as a CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION now rather than a NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION.

What is the difference?
Simply put, if and organization accepts tax exempt donations, it needs to file as a non-profit organization with tax exempt status.

Why the change?
After talking with the attorney, we agree that the paperwork and requirements to stay compliant as a non-profit/tax exempt organization are just too much for me to handle on my own.  I'm trying to get some administrative help because I'd like to focus my efforts on more public relations and awareness.  Even with that help, the requirements to stay a non-profit/tax exempt organization are pretty extreme and I can't take that on right now.

How does this affect everyone with Think Pink?
Basically, this ONLY affects us through donations and fundraising.  We will still provide support to the Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation in addition to the charitable Think Pink sessions...but, the donations will go directly through the Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation rather than to Think Pink.

Since funds will not be accepted in Think Pink's name, we do not need to be tax exempt...and not being tax exempt saves a lot of paperwork and time on our end!  We can still support their cause without the extra administrative burden.

Now, our donate page links directly to the Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation donation page.  Payments sent by mail are now sent to the Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation at the address provided on our donate page.  When you make a donation, please put "Think Pink" in the notes of your online payment or the memo line of your check.
 
If you have additional questions about this change, please email me at any time!

Thanks!
